SDL Party seeking EU support

We just had to blog this story…. Can you imagine for just one moment the ‘factual and detailed view of the ground situation existing in Fiji as reported by Kinivuwai.. what a joke that would be!

Even though the SDL Party leader Laisenia Qarase was away on his island in Vanuabalavu, the party’s National Director Peceli Kinivuwai met with Mr Roger Moore, EU Director General for Development in Suva this week.

The EUROPEAN UNION representative wanted to get first hand information from major political parties and stakeholders on the way forward and how to assist Fiji’s precarious economic situation.

Mr Kinivuwai presented to the EU Team are very factual and detailed view of the ground situation existing in Fiji.

Was Kinivuwai asked to turn out his pockets? Or correctly queried “Who paid your bus or taxi fare here”? The Duavata Initiative funds must by now be running low? Might he then have been asked whowould benefit most from this exchange: himself and his close associates or would his interests now maybe extend to Fiji’s people as a whole? Because the EU taxpayer is more ethically minded than previously as to who receives funding or aid these days. It does not go down too well with your average EU over-taxed punter if pockets are about to be stuffed with their hard-earned money solely for the interest of a chosen few. Quite right too! Calling people names is not exactly PC: “Weeds and grasses”? In Parliament too? Simply will not do! Who are they trying to kid?

The problem with SDL is that they think they are the saviour of the indigenous Fijian people. A closer scrutiny of their policies and strategies clear shows a core group of elite people using the indigenous Fijian as cover to solidify and strengthen their stranglehold on the power in Fiji.

Go back in years when the Fijian Holdings was formed and check closely who the Class A shareholders are. These very people form the core advisers of the SDL party.

Look at how government funds are spread out during the SDL reign and you’ll see which chief is being targeted with sweets to get their support.

The SDL ius nothing but a very deceptive and destructive political party run by deceivers, crooks, manipulators, adulterers etc. They cloak themselves in Christian messages and chiefly traditions yet underneath all that lies a snake slithering in the grass poisoning everything in its path.

@Vitivou
Yes but the numbers are dwindling especially as it is shown almost daily how false their predictions and comments are. Mark Manning, lastofthe polarbears and keepthefaith have redused their blogging time. I have also noticed how they expose themselves as very racist people when they are confronted. In coupfourpoitfive, a discussion on the PM’s speech became a request for Fiji Indians to ship out! On the same site, blogs about the dual citizenship policy of the government deteriorated into an allegation that the Indians were trying to destroy Fijian culture. And criticism of media bias on Crosbiewalsh became an attack on military coups without answering his allegation that the media and critics in reports such as Amnesty were deliberately deceiving people on the situation in Fiji. The anti-govt bloggers lack any kind of ability to argue a point when taken on in an intelligent way. They keep coming back to the evil dictatorship theory which is now wearing very thin. They are increasingly being exposed as racist, illogical, and unprincipled. If we press hard enough, they start to justify 2000!

If we accept that we Fijians want to preserve our cultural philosophy yet at the same time that we want to become economically self-sufficient and prosperous such that we can educate our children and ensure our survival anywhere in the world, then our policies under the Fijian Administration were bound to fail. We Fijians at present are only really comfortable in Fiji. We are not marginal men, comfortable with our culture wherever we go. If we were, we would feel less protective of our culture. Look at the Indian diaspora. It takes Indian culture to Australia, Finland and Mauritius.
The key to our survival as a people is adaptation and learning to compete on others’ terms while maintaining the Fijian ethos. It is also learning to treat our most precious resource, our land, as an asset and not as a political football. How do we get the best returns on our land without alienating or reducing its long term value? Obviously the British institutions set up to “preserve Fijian culture” such as the Council of Chiefs, have failed to deliver anything but the strengthening of chiefly authority. In fact its partnership with successive governments has ensured its failure from the point of view of the Fijian community.
What is needed is the democratization of the Fijian community, a greater voice of the commoner Fijian, better gender representation, and a more clever approach to handling resources. It is too easy and therefore too dangerous to sit around waiting for land rentals handouts and special entry requirements into universities. As for the NLTB, where do I start? In this current climate of change and reform, let us ask the government to dismantle these failed institutions that supposedly”protect” the Fijian community but which in reality have contributed to its weakness and inability to survive modern global trends, and replace them with more democratic institutions which will allow us to be Fijian no matter where we live. How can the world expect us to embrace democracy, when all we have been taught since birth is that the chiefs in partnership with the government will look after us as if we were unthinking and not very clever children?
It’s time for us to grow up. Voreqe’s reforms are the answer. They are in the best interests of the Fijian people if only we can see that protecting our way of life is not the best way to guarantee our survival. The best way is to learn to adapt, to compete, and learn the value of a greater social equality. That is the key to our survival.

I disagree with your view that ” We Fijians at present are only really comfortable in Fiji. ”

Fijians can adapt better than most in a totally different cultural environment. I have seen this happen in the last 30 years. The Fijian is a survivor, he is not gonna lay down and die in a changing landscape. I have seen guys who were raised in the wrong side of town in Fiji pull themselves out of the gutter and make it good in NZ and Aust. Don’t sell your countrymen short.

Ratu Sukuna held the view that the Fijian in order to compete with his Indian brother in the world of economics must become like him, exercising thrift and changing his lifestyle. Not so. Diversity is the great equaliser in a dynamic world. Roadmaps must change with the times. Fijians excel in sports, hospitality and other areas – all worthy of supporting a happy and fulfilling lifestyle.

This website too much bull..shit sprouting from it. Sa kua mada ni levu tiko na lasu you guys supporting my government. Your comments are not even close to the truth. I am just running the government to make my millions and save my ass. I dont care what else happens. Let Khaiyum handle all the legal stuff for me because Iam paying him good you suckers!

It is so clear that someone from Digicel wrote the blog! Look, Digicel, so you have to fight to keep up in the mobile phone market. So does Vodafone. Get over it both of you. There are more important thing to worry about in Fiji other than who can best rip off the consumers. And we are not impressed by the character assassination. Low stuff. Too transparent to go for Aslam Khan.

Below the belt attack on Aslam Khan. Isn’t he the guy who is sending all these kids to India for heart surgery courtesy of Vodafone? I get as fed up as everyone else when the network fails, but this kind of attack on a decent guy is worthless rubbish. If Digicel is behind it, get a life guys!! Focus on nation building and keeping the FRU honest!!

So whats up at FRU? I mean that organization is nothing but trouble. Maybe a complete overhaul is needed. Keni needs an overhaul himself. What’s this about him, Pacific Connex and Ballu Khan. Does everyone have a hand in the till?

Ive got a confession to make to you guys…I admit that we have been supporting the wrong thing all along…As much as i support the reforms by Bainimarama, i sometimes think of the damage that it is doing to the nation..I think sometimes we have to learn to hear both sides of the stories..
I just hope that were still on the right track

You don’t have anything else to say and do so you resort to this strategy of trying to confuse what I think about the current leadership. Shame on you.

Whoever you are who posted above using my nick, you can take your shit with you to wherever you come from. The only confession I have is that I support the reforms done by the current government to the core.

There’s no two sides to the story because there’s only one which is REFORM and election in 2014. We are absolutely on the right track and ain’t no doubt about it.

@would be vitivou,replying above
I just posted an honest comment about what is currently happening at the moment..Yes this is the real vitivou..I support the government to the core and the election too but i just honestly think that damage is beyond what we thought..
So piss off and stop trying to confuse things..

Look at this this way Vitivou. If someone has taken the time to open a false account under your name you have succeeded in becoming a threat to someone!! It is a measure of your effectiveness as a correspondent!!

Our Real @vitivou..tacina, who shouldn’t be too concerned with impostors….infact, they do a very bad job….not only do we the cyber populace know the patriotic passion, and resolve of you our Real “vitivou” heart is poised…we’ve also come to sense your honourable spirit between the lines.

Unlike the impostor “Vitivou”..eh…good try to copy the name, but made a slip and posted as capital “V”…even if she reduces her “v’..does not camouflage the sticking odour and nasty destructive spirit of a foreigner whose only ploy is to shoot down our genuine efforts to rebuild beloved Fiji in to a Real “vitivou”

This is a comment I posted on Raw Fiji News about the free bus fare for school children beginning Wednesday next week…..

Hey Raw Fiji News, did you get smacked in the face again?

For all your negative picture painting of Fiji’s economy, the government just shot you down with a brilliant decision. Fiscal surplus of $30 million? Wow, isn’t that prudent financial management? We wouldn’t get this under a democratically elected government.

This morning I heard Bainimarama speaking on radio explaining what happened to FNPF and the abuses that was going on there by previous governments right from after coup 1987. He said never again will government interfere with the workers retirement savings.Now this is good governance.

Where in the bible does it say Jesus was born on christmas day 25th of December. Do you have any idea what the origin of christmas is and that this practice is not of God, in fact God forbids it. Christmas is Satanic not of God the Creator. To exalt christmas is to exalt Satan worship. Santa Claus is Satan. Nothing about christmas has to do about Jesus. Jesus was born in Bethlehem but christmas has nothing to do with it. Christmas is the worship of Satan brought into the church.

@ Roman ..am going to leave you alone , Madam, as your stuttering, hand shaking with fumes of anger shooting out your royal nostrils…we do not want to be blamed should you have cardio arrest etc.

Oh…by the way, remember the widely renown unwritten Law of this cyber boxing ring, That is ; you cop ten times the curse you spew or, conversely showered 10 times the blessings and positive vibes you write..

I guess some wilfully choose the former…what a life!!..but, for you God forbid and is forgiven. I end my reply now and tune off e-advise to my email address. Bless you heaps!!

@ S & M.
bula ratu – welcome back – while there thought you’d succumbed 2 the beauty of Natawa – forgottem all others. Good luck explaining Viti’s
unique indigenous interpretion of Christianity (voodooo thing included) 2 Romans & Fundamentalists (of all persuations).
From personal experience & observations – although as all such things are – still works in progress – it works – refined daily by good souls in villages everywhere – never confuse have with should have. Studied map Prepared With Assistantance Of – Fiji Dept of Lands & Survey – Bau’s somehow mysteriously disappeared but Nukulau now prominent?
Reckon thats one of them sublime message things? Or just a case of going into tourist marketing? Don’t tell em but it would work better if he was back on it (born showman) – could arrange cruise & drive byes – back 2 back prisons tours – former on beach latter in garden … Be interesting? Appointed everyone else – sidelined those he didn’t… Race against time – worthy of a game – Trad v Rest & its raining.
Have good 1.
